The Antarctic Cormorant also referred to as the Antarctic Shag - - they were quite plentiful in some parts of the Antarctic - - in this particular sighting the one was the receiving party at Neko Harbour - - I was still on the zodiac when I took this shot, I really wanted the glacier background which would have been impossible once standing on the beach.

After receiving 13 inches of snow it’s comical to watch the squirrels try and get through the snow.

Villoslada de Cameros, La Rioja, España.

 

Villoslada de Cameros es un municipio y localidad española de la comunidad autónoma de La Rioja. El término municipal, ubicado en la comarca de Cameros, tiene una población de 348 habitantes (INE 2023).

 

Está integrado en la comarca de Cameros, concretamente en la subcomarca de Camero Nuevo, situándose a 50 km de Logroño por la carretera N-111, que atraviesa el término municipal en el kilómetro 286.

 

El extenso término municipal ocupa buena parte de la cara norte de la Sierra Cebollera, que incluye el parque natural del mismo nombre. El río Iregua, que nace en el territorio, forma un profundo valle en su descenso de sur a norte, recibiendo el aporte de los numerosos arroyos de la zona y del río Mayor. Por el oeste, las sierras de Frihuela y Castejón, integradas en el Sistema Ibérico, hacen de límite, junto con la Sierra Cebollera al sur, con la provincia de Soria. En Villoslada hay un centro de interpretación del parque natural de la Sierra de Cebollera.

 

El techo del municipio es una enorme planicie llamada La Mesa (2168 m) que comparte con Lumbreras de Cameros. El segundo punto más elevado, que da nombre a la sierra, es el pico Cebollera (2141 m), compartido con los municipios de El Royo y Sotillo del Rincón. El núcleo urbano se alza a 1072 m sobre el nivel del mar.

It is part of the region of Cameros, specifically in the sub-region of Camero Nuevo, located 50 km from Logroño on the N-111 road, which crosses the municipal area at kilometre 286.

 

The extensive municipal area occupies a good part of the northern face of the Sierra Cebollera, which includes the natural park of the same name. The Iregua River, which rises in the territory, forms a deep valley in its descent from south to north, receiving the contribution of the numerous streams in the area and the Mayor River. To the west, the Frihuela and Castejón mountain ranges, integrated into the Iberian System, form a limit, together with the Sierra Cebollera to the south, with the province of Soria. In Villoslada there is an interpretation centre for the Sierra de Cebollera natural park.

 

The highest point of the municipality is a huge plain called La Mesa (2168 m) which it shares with Lumbreras de Cameros.

A macro view of electric hair clipper blades. The frame spans approximately 3mm across.

 

I was growing increasingly discontent with the haircuts I had been receiving. It had gotten to the point that I would come home after my hair appointments, pull out my shears, and touchup my hair to my liking. I finally made the decision to just cut my hair myself. That was twenty-five years ago; I have been cutting my own hair ever since. This is a macro view of the electric WAHL clippers I have been using since then.

 

Side note: The blurry line in the top blade had confounded me. It appeared in each of several alternate (yes–60+ focus stacked) shots. I surmise that it is from the oil lubrication on the blade.

 

Strobist/technical info:

The scene is a 64-image focus stack composite. It was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights, CL/CR, fired through 24" softboxes in Manual mode @ ⅛ power and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs.

Beste vrienden van Flickr,

Hebben een leuke zaterdagavond en een ontspannen zondag. Dank u voor uw bezoek, een opmerking en een ster die ik graag wil ontvangen.

Alle belangrijke informatie over de Glienicke-brug vindt u in de twee links.

 

"Die Glienicker Brücke über die Havel zwischen Berlin und Potsdam verbindet im Verlauf der Bundesstraße 1 die Königstraße (Berlin-Wannsee) mit der Berliner Straße in der Berliner Vorstadt von Potsdam. Ihren Namen verdankt die Straßenbrücke dem in der Nähe gelegenen ehemaligen Gut Klein Glienicke, an dessen Stelle heute das Schloss Glienicke liegt. Die Fachwerkbrücke wurde Ende 1907 als viertes Bauwerk an dieser Stelle unter dem Namen Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke eröffnet, der sich jedoch nicht durchsetzte.

Quer über die Brückenmitte verläuft die Landesgrenze zwischen Brandenburg und Berlin bzw. die Stadtgrenze zu Potsdam. Während der Zeit der Deutschen Teilung erlangte die Glienicker Brücke weltweite Bekanntheit durch den am 11. Februar 1986 spektakulär inszenierten dritten und letzten Agentenaustausch." Wickipedia

 

"The Glienicke Bridge over the Havel between Berlin and Potsdam connects the Königstraße (Berlin-Wannsee) with Berliner Straße in the suburb of Potsdam. The road bridge owes its name to the former Klein Glienicke estate, which is located nearby and is now replaced by Glienicke Castle. The half-timbered bridge was opened at the end of 1907 as the fourth building on this site under the name Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke, but it did not prevail.

The state border between Brandenburg and Berlin or the city border with Potsdam runs across the centre of the bridge. During the time of the German division, the Glienicke Bridge gained worldwide fame through the spectacularly staged third and final exchange of agents on February 11,1986." Wickipedia

Receiving flowers as a gift is a double blessing. The beauty fills one's house for days and offer up vast opportunities for photo sessions. While admiring my orange Daylily flowers, I noticed bright pollen had fallen to the surface of a leaf. "Love is beauty and beauty is truth, and that is why in the beauty of a flower we can see the truth of the universe."

Tonglen, the Tibetan practice of “sending and receiving,” is one of the most powerful—and radical—ways of cultivating compassion.

 

When practicing tonglen, we consciously choose to take in the suffering of others. The practitioner breathes in pain and suffering, and sends out compassion and goodness on the exhale.

 

“It’s a simple and natural exchange: you see suffering, you take it in with the inbreath, you send out relief with the outbreath ....”

The Parish Church of Saint Peter

 

The village of Navenby sits on the cliff road between Lincoln and Grantham. It became a market town after receiving a charter from Edward the Confessor in the 11th century, the market closed in the 19th century and Navenby became a village once more.

The parish church is dedicated to St Peter and is chiefly 14th century, with a 15th century clerestory, the tower was rebuilt following a collapse of the original steeple in 1750.

Former Conrail GP10 7554 leads a rather long freight through the rural hillside of Zionsville, PA, on the way back to the end of the line in East Greenville, PA. The train consists of cars for all three customers on the line; Blommer Chocolate, CJ Robinson, and Customs Processing which is receiving a string of hoppers for the first time this year.

After receiving a heads up NS 5202 was leading NS P75, myself and my friend Alex shot down the R-Line to Monetta, SC where we caught up with them just before running around their train and heading back to Columbia. I believe this may have been my first time seeing a high-hood leading a "mainline" train out on the main. And could very well be my last too.

The Giant's Causeway (Irish: Clochán an Aifir) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills.

 

It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 and a national nature reserve by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland in 1987. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named the fourth-greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom.

 

The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although some have four, five, seven, or eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.

 

Much of the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast World Heritage Site is owned and managed by the National Trust. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern Ireland, receiving over 998,000 visitors in 2019. Access to the Giant's Causeway is free of charge: it is not necessary to go via the visitor centre, which charges a fee. The remainder of the site is owned by the Crown Estate and several private landowners. Wikipedia
